The prince is very cruel

"Such a loud noise prevents our brothers from sleeping well at night." Someone complained.

"Who knows? It was His Majesty's order. It seems something happened in the Zhao Mansion."

"What are you talking about? Just stand guard when I told you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" A middle-aged man wearing armor, with a thin face and stubble, shouted.

"Captain Jin!" More than a dozen soldiers immediately bent down.

"Get out and go patrol over there!" Captain Jin snorted coldly, full of official authority.

"But, but Captain, are you not going to defend it?"

Captain Jin said coldly, "Isn't this Captain here? I asked you to go help somewhere else, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The soldiers trembled, not daring to talk back. They clasped their fists and left.

Suddenly, the defending officers and soldiers at one of the arched gate exits of the north city gate were moved away, leaving a slight gap.

Captain Jin stood where he was. Unlike his previous official majesty, his hands began to tremble unconsciously at this moment. He seemed to be extremely nervous and frightened.

"These bastards, could they be the ones who went to the Zhao Mansion to kill people?"

"This has really put me in great trouble. If I had known it would cost me hundreds of taels of gold, I would never have agreed to help them do this!" He talked to himself, feeling extremely regretful and scared, but it was too late.

"Captain Jin." Suddenly, a voice sounded faintly from behind him.

Captain Jin was so frightened that he almost screamed. He turned around suddenly and sat down on the ground with a thud: "You, who are you? How did you get here?"

Guan Ning smiled, squatted down from the shadows, and said, "Captain, you don't need to know who we are. You just need to fulfill your agreement."

"You, you guys!"

Captain Jin soon discovered that there was more than one person coming, and all of them were wearing night clothes. This was obviously abnormal. Considering the major events that happened in the Zhao Mansion tonight, his whole heart was shocked and a storm was set off.

"Are you the thieves who caused trouble in the Zhao Mansion?"

Guan Ning neither admitted nor denied: "What's wrong?"

"Do not!"

"I'll give you your money back. I can't let you go!" Captain Jin was horrified and wanted to get up.

boom!

Guan Ning dragged the person into the darkness to avoid being discovered by others.

"You want a refund at this time?"

"Can you quit?"

Captain Jin was on the verge of tears: "No, no, please let me go. I had no idea you would cause such a big mess. I'm afraid I'll have a life to live!"

"I have a family!"

Guan Ning's eyes were cold: "As long as you let us go, no one will know it was you who let us go."

"We won't tell either, but if you go back on your word, then when we're arrested and we reveal our accomplices, I'm afraid you, Captain Jin, will be the first one to be exposed."

Captain Jin was horrified: "No, no, I am not your accomplice!"

"No? Who would believe it? Do you really think that the hundreds of taels of gold you took can't be traced?" Guan Ning said coldly.

Captain Jin's face turned the color of liver when he heard this. He was angry and frightened, but he didn't dare to say anything. Now everyone was in the same boat.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Guan Ning said, "Let us go now, and I will give you another 100 taels of gold."

"After we leave the city gate, you take your sunny road, and I take mine. From now on, neither of us will know each other. How about that?"

Hearing this, Captain Jin was moved. There is a saying that money can make the world go round, but without money, nothing is possible.

I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well give it a try!

Finally, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said aggrievedly: "Wait here!"

Guan Ning made way, and Captain Jin left like a thief.

"Prince, will he tell on you?"

"He doesn't dare." Guan Ning said calmly and forcefully.

No one said anything more, but just kept looking around, alert to their surroundings, not daring to take it lightly.

After a while, Captain Jin returned as expected. He brought more than a dozen sets of armor for everyone to put on.

"In a moment, you will follow me and pretend to be reinforcements. Don't say anything!"

"Once you leave the city gate, leave quickly and never come back!" Captain Jin was already sweating profusely, as if he was walking on a tightrope.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "Thank you."

Having said that, he simply threw the gold bag away. He was a man of integrity.
